Matching Game!

We haven't played any games on this blog yet and since it was a slow week I thought it was time for one. This game is called...

The What-We-Are-Into-Right-Now Game

I'm going to list six things that the different members of our family are really interested in right now, then in the comments, you list who you think is interested in which thing. (This won't be that hard)


1. David Archuleta
Since the release of the new single "Crush" one member of our family has been very excited about David Archuleta. This family member has even used David's Idol journey as inspiration to face challenges.










2. Reading
One member of our family has had their nose in a book. In the last month they have read The City of Ember, The People of Sparks, The Prophet of Yonwood, and they are now reading Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites and a book on improving communication.








3. Bionicles
This person is so excited about Bionicles that they set up a soda stand to make money to buy another bionicle. In addition to playing with the toys, they are also reading the book Tales of the Toa, and playing the online games as well.





4. Playing the Guitar
Even with the door shut to their room, this person's guitar playing can be heard throughout the house. This month they have learned "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield, "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat and "Leave the Peices" by the Wreckers. (The Wreckers are affectionately known in our house as 'Rock Bra' which is how their album is labeled at the library).




5. Bunnies!
Someone in our house is obsessed with bunnies. They have already planed out their Halloween costume, and are seen often drawing bunnies. You may also spy this person playing and sleeping with any one of many plush bunnies that they own.






6. Facebook
If you haven't joined facebook yet, it may be the very best way to talk to one particular member of our family (or perhaps, more then one, but this one especially). This person can be heard bragging about how well their flair are doing (they have one that has over 300 users and counting). They also are making new friends almost daily.

Dear Edwina

I want to congratulate Kaitlin who made the chorus of Dear Edwina, her Jr. High musical. The competition here is fierce, and it is great for her to have made it into the show when 20 other kids were turned away. She starts practices this week. Her show will be November 13th-15th and all of you are welcome to come up and attend. Kaitlin is also starting voice lessons this week, which she is excited about.


My New Favorite Website: http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/

This is an awesome site that keeps track of your local grocery store adds, comparing them for the best prices and alerting you of sales and coupons. Each state has their own section and Utah's is the most active. I guess we really like to pinch our pennies here - or we have to because we have so many mouths to feed. If you live in Utah, then you can get a weekly email that lists out all the grocery store sales that week, as well as other box stores like ShopKo and Kmart. You should try it. It's awesome!
